The Department of Health and Aged Care is conducting consultation on the Modified Monash Model (MMM)
This survey is being conducted by the Thin Markets Branch in the Department of Health and Aged Care (the department) for the Review of the remoteness classification system for aged care | Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
Access the survey here. Submissions close 30 May 2025.
The Modified Monash Model (MMM) is used to define locations by metropolitan, rural, remote or very remote based on geographical remoteness and town size. The system was designed to improve distribution of health workforce in rural and remote areas where it can be more difficult and more expensive to access health services and doctors. In aged care, the MMM is used to allocate program funding and other supports for aged care providers in regional, rural and remote locations. Eligibility for some programs or supports can also be based on a provider’s MMM location. The review is being completed to assess the appropriateness of the MMM and how it is applied in aged care to support service delivery in regional, rural and remote locations.
This survey is most relevant for aged care providers and other organisations and agencies contributing to aged care in Australia. However, the survey has been designed to be completed by anyone who would like to contribute to the review.
The survey will be open until Friday 30 May 2025. The survey has 9 multiple choice and free text questions and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You can also prepare a longer submission and upload a separate file at the end of the survey.
